As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper walked in with a flattering smile on his face and said, "Sorry to bother you three, Madam would like to invite Mr.
Chi Wuji to a tea party.
Asila was surprised and said: "Seriously" The housekeeper smiled and said: "Madam heard that Mr.
Chi is the seventh true disciple of Master Wu Kui, and she thinks it would be rude and disrespectful not to invite Mr.
Chi to her tea party.
Mr.
Chi, please be sure to show your respect."
Shen Lian was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Come to the second floor.
Enter a golden hall covered with colorful carpets.
After Shen Lian took a closer look, he discovered that the room was actually silver-plated, and it showed a golden luster because of the candlelight.
There were seven women in the room, all sitting around a long Western table with an oak frame.
There were flowers on the table, a clean white red silk tablecloth, and two symmetrically placed candlesticks.
The seven women were gorgeously dressed in different styles of banquet dresses, showing off their mature and wealthy charm.
Tea, snacks, and fruits were placed in front of them.
After eating half of them, the tea party should be coming to an end.
"Master Chi, is that right?"
The young woman sitting in the host's seat, who looked just like the oil painting, stood up and walked over.
She was wearing a velvet dress that suited her very well, and the color of the dress matched her eye color very well.
Mrs.
Vantille behaved very elegantly, like a ballet performer, and smiled and extended her hand to Shen Lian.
Seeing this, Shen Lian suddenly remembered the social etiquette, held her hand firmly and firmly, kissed the back of it gently, and smelled the faint scent of tulips, which made her head clearer.
"Wow, I didn't expect barbarians to understand the social etiquette of foreigners."
Mrs.
Vantille said in surprise, with a look of great surprise on her dignified expression.
"Vantil, don't underestimate the barbarians.
The barbarians have outstanding abilities in all aspects."
A slightly bloated lady covered her face with a flaming red feather fan and said with a meaningful smile.
She added "ability" "The two words were bitten very hard, and the laughter seemed to be hinting at something.
When the girls heard this, they all showed expressions of "you know what you know", and their cheeks couldn't help but blush.
Shen Lian noticed that the face of the noble lady was somewhat similar to Asila's.
He glanced at Asila and found that she was winking at the noble lady.
He immediately confirmed the identity of the noble lady.
She should be Asila's mother Ai.
Alexandria, in the ancient Roman Empire, this was a well-known royal family member.
"Mr.
Chi, please take a seat."
Van Tier simply took Shen Lian's hand and pulled him to the seat next to the main seat.
The butler immediately trotted over, pulled out the seat, and a maid of twelve or thirteen years old brought a dinner plate with tea, snacks, fruits, etc. for Shen Lian to enjoy.
"Thank you, madam."
Shen Lian sat down and smiled.
"Don't call me madam.
Actually, I'm single.
If you don't mind, call me Vantil."
Vantil smiled.

Shen Lian, who was single, was quite surprised.
At this time, Asila walked to the side, pulled out the chair and sat down.
Ignoring Vantil's slightly narrowed eyes, she enthusiastically took Shen Lian's arm and said loudly: "Madam has two meanings.
One is It specifically refers to married women, and secondly, it refers to strong women who have independent financial capabilities and hate male dominance."
"Don't listen to the ignorant nonsense of the little girl."
Van Tier interrupted Asira's words and said with a smile: "Madam is just the honorific name everyone gives me.
After all, I am an excellent witch doctor, heal the wounded and rescue the wounded, communicate with ghosts and gods, and dabble in Believe me, a woman with many talents is a mature and attractive woman."
Asila was obviously dissatisfied and wanted to say something tit-for-tat.
Her mother, the ancient Roman noblewoman's expression changed, and she suddenly folded her fan with a snap and interrupted: "Mr.
Chi, Wu Kui The owner is doing well these days.”
The conversation between the two women ended abruptly.
"Do you know Master?"
Shen Lian asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We admire Master Wukui very much, but it's a pity that he has been in seclusion all year round and has never been able to see him."
The lady said with a slight smile.
Shen Lian nodded and said vaguely: "Master is indeed in seclusion all year round.
It is rare for me to see him.
There is no news.
However, no news is good news.
Thank you for your concern."
"No news is good news, that's so well said."
Upon hearing this, Mrs.
Vantille's eyes flashed brightly.
Shen Lian retracted his gaze without any trace, turned to the hostess Vantil, and said with interest: "Fantil, your dress is very beautiful, like a swan dancing, this is the costume of a witch doctor."
"No, it's just a custom-made evening dress."
Vantil's smile suddenly brightened and she twisted her body.
Of course women like to be complimented on their clothes or shoes, they like the feeling of being noticed.
"This evening dress perfectly sets off your beautiful figure and noble and mysterious temperament."
Shen Lian praised, then sighed and said sadly: "Unfortunately, barbarians do not have specific clothes.
Our clothes are simple, I have always been criticized for being rude and tasteless, and I feel like a rude country bumpkin in front of you.”
This is not an exaggeration.
What Shen Lian is wearing at the moment is the red short-fight uniform of the martial arts school.
The summer version exposes many parts of the body.
Although this costume fully shows the powerful side of the barbarian, it is different from the tea party.
The atmosphere seemed out of place.
"How is that possible?
Your outfit fully displays the nature and wildness of a barbarian, which is very attractive and lethal to girls."
Van Tier said sincerely with a smile on his face.
Shen Lian's mind was racing, thinking about how to steer the conversation towards "The Emperor's New Clothes".
This was his purpose in bringing up the topic of clothes, hoping to trick Vantile into taking them out and letting him see what the real thing looked like.
"Really?
You must know a lot about clothes.
I would like to ask you a question, okay?"
Shen Lian replied excitedly.
"Of course."

Van Tier did not doubt that he was there.
"My master once warned me that there is a strange piece of clothing in the world.
Other gods can see this piece of clothing, but only the barbarians cannot.
The existence of this piece of clothing proves the stupidity and vulgarity of the barbarians.
You know this What exactly is this piece of clothing?"
Shen Lian frowned and asked in a sincere and serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Vantill's expression suddenly became particularly wonderful, and the whole room became silent.
"ha" Suddenly, Asila next to him burst into a strange laugh.
Van Tier's best friends also looked at each other, their expressions were indescribably reserved, and their faces turned red.
"Fantier, why don't you answer Mr.
Chi's question quickly?"
the lady Ellie joked.
Seeing this situation, Van Tier couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "The clothes you mentioned are called the Emperor's New Clothes, and they are one of my collections."
"Here you are."
Shen Lian was very surprised and blurted out: "Can you let me see it?
Can barbarians really not see the emperor's new clothes?"
Van Tier smiled knowingly and said: "The emperor's new clothes are said to be invisible to all stupid people.
In fact, most people in the world cannot see this clothes.
Most of the people here can't see it.
But it doesn't matter. , through the eyes of the wise, anyone can see the emperor’s new clothes.”
When Vantil said this, a look of pride appeared on his face.
Obviously, she was one of the few wise people who could see the "Emperor's New Clothes".
At the same time, Shen Lian also noticed that several of Van Tier's best friends lowered their heads unnaturally, with a hint of sadness in their eyes.
No one wants to be stupid, but in The Emperor's New Clothes you'll find out whether you are, and the answers often hurt.
Van Tier took in everyone's expressions, then she smiled proudly, held Shen Lian's hand, leaned over, and said, "Would you like to try on the emperor's new clothes?
I'll take them with you."
Without any explanation, he grabbed Shen Lian's hand and pulled him away from the seat.
When he reached the door, Vantil turned back to the girls and said, "Sisters, wait here for a moment, we will be back soon."
All the way to the locker room.
The housekeeper and two maids brought a large box.
Shen Lian could see at a glance that this box was equipped with sophisticated mechanisms and that there might be hundreds of interlocking locks inside.
With his lock-picking skills, he would not be able to open it without more than ten hours of effort.
Van Tier took off the crystal pendant hanging around his neck, pointed the crystal at the recess on the top of the box, and pressed it down.
Kakaka A series of soft sounds were heard from inside the box.
After a while, the top cover of the box was opened in two.
Suddenly, a psychedelic colorful light burst out, making the entire dressing room change in color.
The light was a bit dazzling, and Vantil subconsciously squinted slightly, but the housekeeper and the two maids were indifferent.
The three of them seemed to be completely unable to see the magical light.
Vantil walked over, put his hands into the box, slowly picked up something, and put it on the table.
Shen Lian was dazzled when he saw that it was a royal robe, like a treasure and bursting with dazzling brilliance.
The king's dress includes a top, underwear, coat, trousers and boots.
It is a complete set, exquisitely made, and embroidered with complicated patterns, including an eagle that symbolizes royal power.
The buttons are all golden faceted gemstones, which is extremely luxurious.
Vantil stared at the king's dress and gently touched the patterns on it, with a look of fascination on his face.
After a moment, she turned over her hand and took out a gray-white fist-sized bead and handed it over, saying, "This is the Eye of the Wise.

Take a look."
Shen Lian took the Eye of the Wise and looked at it, but found that the picture he saw was blurry.
"I saw a piece of clothing, and the picture was very blurry," Shen Lian said.
Van Tier said with a smile: "The most amazing thing about the emperor's new clothes is that the smarter the person, the more details they can see, such as the patterns on the clothes, the inlaid jewelry, etc.
However, even if these details Nor can it be seen through the eyes of the wise
